22 KIDS AND COUNTING S5 - SUN 21/7 - CH 5 8pm TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

So s5 of 22 kids

I know many know what's in it due to
Instragram and Fb and media

Apparently they are preparing to move to their dream home - but we know that didn't happen

I think like the last few series it will be fake

Shame as loves watching it when was 16,18.19 kids etx

Even s1 of 22 kids was ok

But I also love this kind of programme so will be watching even tho some are fake and planned

It's all so fake. Why can't they admit it? In the scenes where "Bonnie starts school" it's quite clearly winter and not September. Noel goes for his walk in January (there are snowdrops) yet when we cut back to sue complaining about his new lifestyle it's summer outside.

Maybe it was a really long walk? 🤣🤣

I didn't notice the weather change for sept

I did notice she looked stressed cooking spag bol ffs

Moving to oz. Really ??

Or dubai. They would be stones to death

Moving to Oz - not a chance ! what skills does he or she have that are required out there ?

Dubai - oh yes of course - not ! that was just another jolly for them.

and as for him having his midlife crisis and wanting something for himself, did he say he was going to work a 4 day week or a 9 day fortnight, anyway, what about Mum does she get a 4 day week too...

Well tbh sue does nothing

She struggles making a spag bol

I have to laugh sometimes, in previous series (possibly when they were on channel 4) Noel would be complaining about the cost of eg entry to a zoo, a takeaway, school uniform.....as if it hadn't occurred that having 10 x as many children as average will be quite expensive for just about everything!! (It's why most people stop at 2 or 3)

Same with wanting some time to himself (not in itself entirely unreasonable) ....but having 20+ kids is inevitably going to make that harder. Even if they'd stopped at 10, then all or most would be independent by now!

He had the snip then reversed it and had l another maybe 8/9 kids

Tide is turning on this lot. The comments on their Facebook page😱People are finally seeing them for what they are.

It’s crazy to see so many die-hard fans defend them though.
I would be so unnerved if absolute strangers had such a weird obsession with my children. It doesn’t seem to bother them at all.

I watched it last night. It was just ridiculous. Noel having fake chats with other empty nesters about how they have their lives back. Eugh.

The bit that REALLY bothered me though was when he returned to Kendal and talked about where it all 'began'. Misty eyed and the narrative about having to grow up and provide for the family. The sacrifices he made.

The real headline should have covered him having sex with a child and getting her pregnant. That took some mental gymnastics for him to come out as some kind of hero. Grim.

I'm at work so will catch on +1 again

Just watched episode 3. OMG. This series is even worse than the previous ones! So many staged scenes and parroting of lines.

Noel & Sue continually telling us that each child is different and has different needs - wow, no shit Sherlock. Two parents and 21 kids means barely any time for each individual child.

All those older Radfords have such terrible teeth, none of them have ever been to a dentist I guess.

James & Josh amazed at seeing a properly trained dog for a change! I bet neither of them is actually working now though.

And Sophie back in this series, but just shown being depressed and not wanting to join in with anything. Her whole childhood was spent looking after her siblings, she then managed to escape only by having her own family, but that hasn't made her happy either. I wasn't convinced by the party - let's face it, she didn't organise it, C5 arranged and paid for that.

The boys only got that dog walking one off because of who they are and the film crew with them, no way would that lady have normally allowed her prize winning dogs to go out in the rain with 2 strange boys.
They will never see each other again, but I did laugh when I saw how many dogs she had ! bet they were only expecting one !!!

Oh another excuse for a ' holiday ' - do Mums usually go with their offspring to Amsterdam ? and they could have done cocktail making at home, gosh we can even do it down here in little Devon :) for several years now !

Sophie it's so full on. Up school. Work. Yea bath bed

It's called parenting. You wanted 3 kids a year apart

Sophie wedding I beleive was paid by ch 4 in the orginal 16/18 kids and counting

I R.E.M. watching her get married and saying earlier only wanted 2 kids but she was preg by then

Do any of them use contraception

Previous op mentioned their teeth and not seeing a dentist. Funny how NONE of the children wear glasses. Bet they've never seen an optician either 🙄🤦‍♂️

Do they not check eyes at school - sure mi I blondes has eye checks at school

She goes to the dentist with me every 9mths

A trip with all the youngsters would the whole after school slots for a day

Anyone watch last night. E4

Just watching now

When did the car accident happen

I watched, but never heard when the accident was.

The last I saw they were buying some land to build their dream house. What happened to that 🤔

The fear of driving after an accident was boring and drawn out imo

I've crashed think 3 times. Once my fault. Twice not

You just get back to driving

i agree - esp as he needs to dive for the job in Australia !!!

Is this going to be another long drawn out non story.

My relative was in a car crash about 5 years ago and still struggles with driving so it is feasible they might have found it an issue

I agree. I was a passenger in a motorway accident around 20 years ago. It made me a nervous driver which still hasn't gone away to this day. I even tried hypnotherapy. Before that I was very confident.

Possible but if the crags was 2yrs and so bad why wasn't it shown in a previous episode
